Firefly Journey

Chapter 325 After the Storm, All Grasses Turn Green (17)

The Chu army was close to Danyang, and with their full force advancing, they saw the sky in the distance, which had changed due to the magical battle, in less than three hours.

"Stop watching, we can't get involved in battles between superhumans," Orlando said to Duan Feibai, arms crossed.

Duan Feibai withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with resentment.

“Aside from the superhumans of the five major churches, in terms of the quantity and quality of ordinary soldiers alone, our Great Chu has no chance of winning. However, the arrival of our new army might change the situation,” Duan Feibai said.

Both John and Henry I knew that superhumans should not be grouped with ordinary soldiers; it was better to separate them and fight them separately.

The reason is self-evident: the magic of superhumans is devastating to ordinary people, and neither side would allow ordinary soldiers to die in vain.

The seemingly harmonious practice of keeping chickens and rabbits in separate cages is actually a matter of necessity, which leads to what appears to be a gentlemanly behavior.

Superhumans against superhumans, ordinary soldiers against ordinary soldiers—neither side dared to act recklessly.

However, there are no restrictions on the commanders of the ordinary troops on both sides. This is because a very small number of extraordinary individuals have no real influence on the outcome of a war, and besides, extraordinary individuals at the leadership level rarely personally participate in command and control.

"Pass down the order: go all out and attack the Imperial camp ahead."

Duan Feibai drew the standard longsword hanging at his waist, raised his arm and shouted: "Charge with me and kill all the imperial lackeys!"

Under his leadership, the new Chu army was filled with enthusiasm, and their eyes gleamed with intense fighting spirit.

For so many years, the national humiliation of the Chu Kingdom has finally come to an end. As men of the great Chu Kingdom, how can we not be excited?!

"Charge! Slaughter all the imperial lackeys!"

The Chu army, shouting rousing slogans, launched a desperate attack on the allied positions.

……

"Your Majesty, as per your instructions, our people have been secretly observing the other four churches."

"Get to the point," Henry I said impatiently, waving his hand.

"Yes!"

The soldiers who gave the order broke out in a cold sweat.

"The Floating City and the Dark Temple have been in a stalemate, and the two sides have never fought each other directly."

"Heh." Henry I chuckled coldly. "As expected, the two families must have reached some kind of consensus, neither of them wanting their own power to be weakened."

"Forget it, let him be. At least he's helped keep one family afloat, so that's some contribution. What about the rest?"

The messenger continued, "Nature's Blessing and the Underworld Pact are alright; they're facing the Holy See with us, but..."

"Just what?"

"The people from the Church of Death have suddenly disappeared, which is why I've come to report this to you."

"Disappeared?" Emperor Zhuang was silent for a moment, then snorted coldly. "The Deathwhisper Grove has been gone for a long time. No wonder it suddenly agreed to help us. It seems there are other things involved."

Do you know where they went?

The messenger shook his head with a bitter expression.

"I know, go ahead."

"Yes!"

The soldiers, sweating profusely, felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly fled, while Henry I fell into deep thought, unable to understand the actions of the Church of Death.

Before long, another messenger rushed in, his voice urgent: "Your Majesty, a Chu army has suddenly attacked our camp from the southwest! Grand Duke Claude is organizing a resistance!"

"Hmm? Are you sure it's the Chu army?" Henry I emerged from his meditative state.

“I’m sure they were all wearing the standard uniforms of the Chu army.”

"I see, let's go."

"Yes!"

The recruitment of the new army in Chu was in full swing. Such a large-scale operation could not be kept secret. Henry I had known about this for a long time, but he did not take it to heart.

In his view, the Imperial Army was invincible, and even the regular army of Chu was no match for it. How could a newly assembled army change the situation on the battlefield?

So when the soldier reported that it was the new army that had arrived, Henry I knew it was them. He was not flustered and firmly believed that they could not change the overall situation.

……

As the leader of the ancestral church for thousands of years, the Holy See of Light has a profound foundation, which is an objective fact regardless of whether others acknowledge it or not.

The extraordinary individuals native to the Chu Kingdom combine the strengths of various schools of thought, and their professions are diverse. Taken together, they constitute a formidable fighting force.

The two sides supported each other and jointly resisted the pressure from the three churches of the coalition forces.

Despite the Papacy's immense power, and the fact that its two cavalry units were among the most formidable on the continent, the Fighting Hall was not far behind the Papacy. With the assistance of the other two Ancestral God Churches, the Papacy and the Chu Kingdom's Alliance of Extraordinary Beings were temporarily at a disadvantage.

If the State of Chu has no backup plan, they will suffer a crushing defeat in the battle between superhumans.

Outside Danyang, the battle among the superhumans was even more intense than expected, with various magical attacks clashing and leaving the surrounding environment in ruins.

The commander of the Chu army's superhumans was Xue Ruyue. He wielded a large halberd and charged through countless superhumans as if they were nothing.

His individual bravery could not change the disadvantage of the alliance between the Holy See and the Chu Kingdom; the Fighting Hall had enough manpower to hold him back.

It's sizzling!

A bolt of lightning struck his armor and then spread throughout his body, paralyzing him and slowing his movements.

Seeing that he had made a mistake, many of the superhumans from the Fighting Hall rushed forward, attempting to kill this madman from Chu with one blow.

call!

A storm swept by, but Xue Ruyue was unharmed. Archbishop Kolov, who commanded the "Dawn" cavalry regiment, intervened in time and saved him.

"White Rose" Chloe's strength is among the best of the nine archbishops of the Holy See, and she still has the ability to hold her own against many hostile superhumans.

However, although Xue Ruyue was saved, she herself was also surrounded. The superhumans in the Fighting Arena went completely berserk, and countless spells were thrown at the two of them.

Two fists can't fight four hands, and the two are in dire straits.

suddenly!

Amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the sound of galloping hooves echoed.

Closer and closer, heavier and heavier!

The rapid hoofbeats made the ground tremble.

Immediately afterwards, countless ghostly flames appeared in clusters. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the light emanating from the helmets of a group of undead soldiers.

This bizarre scene stunned everyone who was engaged in battle.

Judging from their appearance, they are undead soldiers from the Deathwhisper Grove. What do they want to do with their sudden appearance?

Many of the Allied Forces' extraordinary individuals were secretly delighted, because the Deathwhisper Grove was different from the Holy See and the Temple; it was clearly on their side.

However, the actions of the undead army that followed shattered their illusions instantly.

The headless knight Krumbo, wielding the "Reaper's Scythe," raised it high and gave the order to charge.

In an instant, the undead army surged forth like a dam bursting, crashing into the Allied forces' ranks of superhumans.

what happened!

They're actually helping the State of Chu!
